Thread of Nonsensical Ramblings

This thread is for the kind of random "electronic waste" that is normally spewed out in the confession thread, that has nothing to do with confessions. I thought that by giving off-topic posters an alternate venue for the rambling thoughts they feel compelled to publicly blurt out, they may stop ruining the confession thread.

And this way, only people who enjoy skimming past random, boring posts will be exposed to them. So, if you've got some miscellaneous thoughts, videos, pictures, etc., that you want to get off your mind... this is the appropriate thread to do it in.

P.S.

If you replace '1' with every successive prime number from '5' onwards i.e. 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, etc. and follow the pattern, then you'll get every number that exists, represented in a series of numerical triangles.

EDIT: I forgot about the squares of the prime numbers (25, 49, 121, 169, etc.)

EDIT: And the cubes. And the multiples of two primes (35, 55, 65, 77, etc.)

I'm not sure if I'm supposed to find the next sequence, but I'll attempt it anyways. But there are actually different patterns in the triangle.
1)The one that I saw first was that the first sequence determines the the differences between the numbers in the next sequence.

Ex: 1 is the difference between 2 and 3. 2 is the difference between 4 and 6, 3 is the difference between 6 and 9. 4 is the difference between 8 and 12. 6 is the difference between 12 and 18. 9 is the difference between 18 and 27. And so on.

2) The first numbers in each sequence are powers of 2.
3) The second numbers in each sequence are 3 x the powers of 2.
EX: 3x2, 3x4, 3x8, 3x16, so on.
Well actually, that's how all the rest of the numbers are. Edit: Actually, I don't think that's how the rest of the numbers are. But whatever, too lazy to figure out the other patterns

So the next sequence of numbers would be:
128 192 288 432 648 972 1458 2187

To find this, I found the next power of 2 to get the first number. Then used the first pattern I described to find the next numbers.
Maybe I'm right?

Multiply the third number to get the third number in the next sequence. To get the last number, add the numbers on the right end of the current and previous sequences.

K I'm done. I promise.

Lol, you've actually thought about it a completely different way than I ever did, focusing on the bottom numbers and then extrapolating divisions of them with regard to the number above. And would you believe that I NEVER relaised that the bottom right number equalled the sum of the numbers to its left and above it? All those times looking at it and I never caught that.

What I focused on was the premise of starting with '1' alone at the top, and then putting '2' and '3' down below it, and then continuing to put down numbers where the double of it went lower left and the triple of it went lower right. I found out that the triple of one number was always the same as the double of its neighbour (because 2x3 is the same as 3x2). So multiples of 2 and 4 and 8 fall down the left, multiples of 3 and 9 fall down the right, and multiples of 6 fall down the centre.

And then I realised the only numbers MISSING were 5 and 7. So I made triangles for them too. In fact, the only numbers missing were the prime numbers. 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19, 23 etc. etc.

The first number that couldn't be put down anywhere was 25. Because whereas 1x1=1, 5x5=25. So I put it above the 5 triangle. Keep on going and you start to create an inverted triangle above each triangle for its square number. The same with 49 for 7, 121 for 11, etc. etc.

But then there comes another problem - 35. It's 5x7 and 7x5 and so belongs in both triangles but there's no place for it. The same with 55 and 65 (5x11 and 5x13). And then when you reach 125 (5x5x5) it has to be put somewhere else too.

It gets progressively more and more complicated and impossible to place numbers down within the triangles, especially those involving complex muliples of 5 and 7 and 11.

P.S....

I was really more into this 10 years ago than I am now. I've largely lost interest. But back then I used to try to type out as many numbers as I could on Microsoft Excel, and I colour-coded them as well 5=red, 7-green, 11-blue, 13-yellow, 17=magenta, 19=cyan, 23 onwards darker shades of colours, 100 onwards grey of differing shades.

I didn't realise it at the time, but now, looking back on it, it's pretty obvious that all of this behaviour of mine was indicative of Asperger's. So there it is.

Re: Thread of Nonsensical Ramblings

^ TNG. Season 6. 'Chain of Command, Part II'. Picard has been captured by the Cardassians and subjected to torture and psychological stress. He was repeatedly shown four lights by his captor, repeatedly asked how many there were, but told that there were supposedly five, and given an electric shock if he told the truth. In short, they were trying to break him into submission by getting him to voluntarily agree with a lie. Just after that scene he was rescued. Later on, back on the Enterprise, he privately admitted to Counsellor Troi that at one stage, his mind had actually started believing that there were indeed five lights.
